1
Put dates, raisins, oleo, and baking soda in a large bowl.
2
Pour the boiling water over this mixture. Mix then let cool.
3
Beat 2 eggs, sugar, and vanilla until creamy.
4
Add the cooled mixture alternately with the flour.Stir in nuts.
5
Bake in 3-1# cans that have been well greased.
6
Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes.
7
Cool slightly, then run a butter knife around the inside edge of can to loosen bread. Pull out gently and wrap while still partly warm in plastic wrap. This keeps the round loaves moist.
8
These freeze well. When baking these, I usually double the recipe and freeze half for gifts.

This is delicious! It does not taste at all like the can stuff in the store.
